Advantages: Lovely swimming pool, Sea Views, Quiet area, Good Breakfasts Disadvantages: Rocky Beach, Unhelpful staff on reception, Far from Paphos Centre
First impressions not good due to very unhelpful and rude staff at check in. Reception area itself though was lovely with atrium design and small bar with comfie seating.
Beach kart helps you to your apartment which gives the impression that the complex is vast..it isn't and infact you feel a little foolish driving such a small distance!
Rooms clean and comfortable and lovely if you look onto beach wonderful wildlife at night with bats flying past.
Rooms quiet due to the fact that resort centre (paphos) is about 10-15 mins walk away. Bit of a hairy walk due to mad drivers but there is a path that goes form the beach and avoids all roads but it is very sandy and may prove heavy going with buggy. Also very hot with no shade or facilities so not practical in middle of the day.
We went self catering but recommend that you try ...
Advantages: Atmosphere. Well produced - Escapist Disadvantages: Story line too unrealistic for me
Last week I came across one of those special offers in HMV (4 DVds for £20). It was end of the season sale and I picked up a film called "The Village" just to make up the numbers. It struck me as being some sort of clichéd horror film from the blurb on the cover and I didn't expect to be watching it in the very near future. But it was one of those DVDs that keep popping up every time I looked through my shelf of dozens of other unwatched movies. Well the other evening, it popped up again and I just put it in the machine without giving it too much thought. As I wasn't in the mood for thinking anyway, it would probably be an ideal film.
As we got into the film, enter the monster, well, a glimpse of it. It was supposed to be scaring me but even my wife, who makes me jump out of my skin with her sudden screams in scary movies, remained ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of The Village (DVD)
Advantages: Family friendly, All Inclusive, Good amenities Disadvantages: Location on island, rather expensive (but worth it)
I stayed at the Almond BeachVillage (ABV) from 15 October 2007 for two weeks. I don't quite understand what all the fuss is about as I absolutely enjoyed my stay there.
I have read reports that ABV is not a 4 star resort, but you have to remember that you are in a Caribbean country so you will not have the same 4 star quality there as you would in the UK. Isn't that just plain common sense? The staff were great and we made some really good friends who were an absolute joy!
Location
ABV is in St Peter's which is the top end of the island. It is about a 40 minute drive to Bridgetown (capital and main shopping hub) but it's only about 10 minutes away from Speightstown. I must say it is a bit far out, but as ABV is all inclusive you don't necessarily need to leave the complex. Therefore I don't think it is too much ...
